Where can I find a step-by-step guide to making a Wordpress Multilingual site WITHOUT plugins?

I'm in the process of launching my own service business website in Wordpress.

All the pages are built in english, now I want to add another language while optimizing SEO for both languages.

I've found a ton of (affiliate linked) guides out there to install a plugin to do it for you, but when you dig a little bit and see how much extra bloat it adds, in my opinion its not worth it.

When you actually find a guide to to do it without a plugin, they arent particularly detailed, or they disregard SEO entirely.

So, I've decided to go with a subdirectory instead of a subdomain, which means I need to convert the site into a multisite.

Does this mean I have to buy an additional theme, plugins, etc that I already have, since they are licensed to just one domain? Probably a stupid question but this is how I think haha.

I also want to add hreflang to the pages, but not sure the best way. I think I want to go the XML route and add everything there (to keep the site faster overall).

In your personal experience, is this really the best way, or should I just add it to the header?

Does anyone know of a detailed, SEO based guide to setting up what I'm looking for?

Any other tips that I dont even know to ask about would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
